Well, it's out of character and inconsistent either way, but you said you would like it less if Halsin respected the protagonist's boundaries more. I was just asking why.

Those were my theories too. Also, perhaps the writer just firmly believes in free and open relationships being equally as valid as monogamy, and wanted to challenge expectations and assumptions along those lines. Obviously we've found the execution leaves something to be desired.
